Police Recover Arms From Native Doctor’s Shrine In Enugu
A native doctor, Ejike Emmanuel Chinonso, 24, has been arrested by police operatives attached to the Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad of the Enugu State Police Command for allegedly being in possession of two firearms, one expended and two live rounds of ammunition.
The exhibits were recovered from his shrine located at Ugwuochie-Iwollo in Ezeagu Local Government Area of the state. Also recovered from him were one locally made pistol, one revolver pistol, and one live .38 special calibre ammunition, and one live cartridge.
This was contained in a release by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, which was made available to THE WHISTLER on Monday.
Ndukwe stated that, “The recovery followed the suspect’s confessional statements after his earlier arrest, as well as a subsequent raid on the shrine by the operatives. The suspect confessed to being a member of the Black Axe confraternity. He will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of investigations.”
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, has commended the operatives for their efforts and urged them to sustain the momentum, ensuring that Enugu State remained uninhabitable for unrepentant criminals.
He also called on the public to remain supportive of the command’s efforts.
